  • Patent number: 10038655
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for automating enforcement of a license for an electronic mail (email) message recovery plug-in. A first email message recovery plug-in associated with a first information handling system generates a first email message to request a recovery of a second email message. A first license identifier, which is associated with the first email message recovery plug-in, is then attached to the first email message, which in turn is sent to a second information handling system comprising a second email message recovery plug-in. In response, a third email message is received from the second information handling system, comprising the second email and a second license identifier associated with the second email message recovery plug-in. The first and second license identifiers are compared to see if they are the same. If they are, then license remediation operations are performed.

  • Patent number: 9948594
    Abstract: To control publication of messages within a social networking server (SRS) from a communication terminal (TC), a server (SC) capable of communicating with the social networking server (SRS) intercepts a message (Mes) containing text data (DonT), the message being provided by a user registered on the social networking server (SRS) and intended to be published by the social networking server (SRS). The server (SC) extracts keywords associated with the text data (DonT) based on a semantic analysis of the text data, and blocks publication of the message (Mes) if at least one extracted keyword is included in a set of keywords (EnsMC) associated with another user registered on the social networking server (SRS), said user being included on a list (LC) initially defined by said other user.

  • Patent number: 9860118
    Abstract: A communication system includes a redirect server and a deployment server configured to configure different terminal devices so that those devices are able to access a network of a service provider. A terminal device, computer readable medium and method are also disclosed that helps deploy such a service. In one embodiment, a communication system is configured so that a user of a terminal is provided with a code. The code is then communicated to a redirect server via a terminal associated with the user. The redirect server utilizes the code to determine the address of a deployment sever. The redirect server then provides the address to the terminal so the terminal can connect to a configuration management system so that the terminal may communicate with that system to be configured for accessing the network services hosted by the system.

  • Patent number: 9736021
    Abstract: A network device and a method for operating a network device for an automation network are provided. The network device is set up with the help of a real-time application for providing a function of the network device. The real-time application has at least one predefined, updatable parameter. The network device has a storage device for storing update data for the updatable parameter in an update storage area and storing application data for the real-time application in an application storage area. The network device is set up such that, after update data has been written into the update storage area at a predefined update time, a first memory address referring to the application storage area switches to a second memory address referring to the update storage area in which the update data is stored. The switch takes place deterministically within a predefined update timeslot during runtime of the real-time application.

  • Patent number: 9710762
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for dynamically modifying the extent of logging performed by logging information generators in response to events detected in logging information received by the collector. In some examples, a network device includes one or more processors and a collector executed by the processors to receive a log message that includes logging information from a generator. The network device also includes a rules engine to apply one or more rules that each specify a condition and a corresponding action to the logging information to identify a matching rule, wherein the rules engine, upon identifying a matching rule, executes the action of the matching rule to generate and send a logging modification message to increase an extent to which the generator generates logging information.
